You can make a difference. Here's how.

Get involved right where you are

You don't need to travel to the other side of the world to see/experience need, break down barriers and begin to be part of the solution. Right where you live, make an effort to look deeply at the available resources for solving the challenges in your community. That includes you. Through your faith community, your school, your club/civic organization or public office, be an advocate for positive change. Working in your own "back yard" will help you gain the experience you need for service with integrity and will teach you the best ways to give.

Live like you mean it!

How we live and the choices we make for ourselves are the greatest indicator of our real values and intentions. Tread lightly. Step down. Consider "Other." Don't buy stuff you don't need. Reach out, not just in. Get out of your comfort zone. Make sacrifices. Give of yourself and your resources. Include your family. Consider how your choices affect the environment, other people and the whole world.
